Compare and contrast “good” and “bad” kingship in Beowulf. In other words, what are the characteristics of a “good” vs “bad” ruler? I recommend phrasing your response according to the following questions:

(1.) Which character(s) are considered “good” rulers? Why?
(2.) Which character(s) are considered “bad” rulers? Why?
Finally, why do you think that Hrothgar lectures Beowulf about good and bad kingship? What’s the purpose?

(1) What themes are associated with Grendel’s mother? How do the themes pulled from the various digressions reflect and/or contradict

(1) What themes are associated with Grendel’s mother? How do the themes pulled from the various digressions reflect and/or contradict the themes associated with Grendel’s mother? (Compare & Contrast).

(2) What do these themes suggest about the heroic society’s values (heroic ethos)? (What I am implying here is the significance of the blurring/comparison between monster and man—between Grendel’s mother and human society. Why would the poet do this?)
Digressions that you can review:
⁃ Finnsburg digression
⁃ Heremod
⁃ Etc.
(Hint: Look at the lines that describe the fight between Beowulf and Grendel’s mother. You can also use setting.)
